thanks, that helped me choose bluefish. jedit is a good solution as well, but is slow and has somethimes a strange behaviour. it tool me some time to figure out where a ftp-server is mounted to. it’s in your home directory under .gvfs!

I disagree on the BlueFish ftp being better than DW. The great thing about the DW FTP is that you can *simultaneously* have a local directory and a remote directory listed. When you are done coding/testing locally or in a remote testing environment you can upload to the FTP server with just a click. I’ve looked at nearly 20 apps just today and not a single one of them comes close to this, what I consider, essential, time-saving feature of DW. This one seemingly simple feature is all I ask from an HTML/PHP IDE…yet only one seems to have it. Would love to find an opensource option that does it, but for now it’s DW running in Wine…..
